Meet Teddy who is ALIVE because of AMS in Uganda
Teddy is a 65 year old widow who lives in the neighboring slums a few meters away from Alive Medical Services (AMS) in Kampala, Uganda. She came to AMS in 2008 with full blown AIDS and is currently under comprehensive HIV and AIDS treatment and care.
Our nutrition program provides Teddy, one of many grandmothers, food for her and her 11 orphaned grandchildren. Not only is Teddy a widow at 65, but takes care of 11 orphaned grandchildren who live with her. Only one of her children is alive and he is sick with elephantiasis, with a big ulcer on the leg an unable to work.
Grandma Teddy came to AMS very sick with full blown AIDS in 2008 and was started on AIDS treatment. When staff of AMS visited her at home she was in a bad state with no food and no source of income and 11 little hungry mouths to feed.
She was then later started on nutrition support and this has literally saved them from starvation.
Teddy has no formal job but now with some food provided and with a little capital, she has been able to boil cassava and sell whenever she can.
This food parcel keeps Grandma Teddy and her 11 grandchildren ALIVE.
For $26, you can provide a food parcel to a family like Grandma Teddy’s for an entire month at Alive Medical Services - make that difference today and give the gift of life here.
